Using the IntelliLogger™

TIP
- a basic comprehension of this LCD menu structure can be
achieved by close reading of this section... but better results may be
achieved by just `diving in’ and poking around with the NEXT and
SELECT buttons to develop a feel for the structure. .
Basic Display Hierarchy
The following is a Listing of the LCD menu structure that can be accessed via the
Next

Select
buttons.

displayed includes the Model, Firmware (internal code) version number and two lines of
Operational and Status messages which indicate what tasks the IntelliLogger is currently
performing (e.g. Enabled, Downloading data, Stopped, etc).
From the Home Menu, tapping
